A friend of mine rented a dodge magnum because she needed something to drive while she was in town (she's visiting from out of state), she rented a 2007 dodge magnum (they are incredibly slow, i wouldent recommend buying one..) an she also rented a GPS unit to get to my house because giving her directions is like trying to teach sign language. Later that evening we go out to dinner an take the dodge because it has unlimited mileage and why put miles on my truck. I get in and test drive it a little, the power is almost non-existant. I see she has a GPS so i start looking in it, an i found this. She is a very carefull driver so i know this record was probably from the prev. driver.

btw, i KNOW this is not a correct speed. I dont even think the land speed record is this fast, but i got a good laugh.

 

wow. how close were the turn by turn directions?

turn left in 400 yards...(1/2 second later) turn NOW

 

From a plane? lol

 

I dident use the GPS to navigate. I knew were i was driving. But i OWN a Garmin Nuvi 200 and its great with directions, in a females voice it warns you of upcomming turns an i have plenty of room to slow down. Its not the kind of GPS that tells you the minute you have to turn so you have to lock your brakes or either miss the turn.

Pretty reasonable price

 

I think he was trying to say how accurate would the turn directions be if you were going 1700 mph

 

Ohh!! Sorry man, long day...

 

That was probably the v6 version. If it had the 5.7 HEMI it would haul ***, believe me.

 

maybe 177.8

 

That's over mach 2.3 at sea level. I don't know of a plane that could pull off that speed.

 

they used the nav unit in the new and improved Quantum flux inverse field generating space time 100l 40cyl 480v direct injection mach 7 suuuuuper hemi but its on the D L, only available at hertz, Dodge dosen't even know they have it yet.

 

LMFAO!!

 

Its possible its 177.8, because the rental car company does rent 2008 corvettes, mustang saleens, and a few other super cars i dont know off the top of my head. I KNOW for a fact that an un-goverened corvette will do 220mph, theres a video of it on youtube.

 

My Lowrance XOG GPS has a max speed of 546mph on it right now. I turned it on while flying from vegas to phoenix.

There is something in some GPS units that makes it think it is still in a trip. Say you programmed a trip and before you reached your destination you cut the GPS unit off. Then you turned it back on right before you reach your destination. All of a sudden it is miles away from it's last known location. So it calculates the distance traveled minus the time it was off and you get unreal MPH readings. I think that is how it works, I read something about it before, but I just finished up working all night and I can't think straight....
